Players have a ball in May as 29 become millionaires

Lotto continued to deliver some amazing wins, creating 10 new millionaires. We met one of them – Di Foster, a 62-year-old grandmother from Reading – who scooped £1,049,669 on Lotto. Di was still getting used to the idea of being a millionaire when she was handed a shopping list by her cheeky 7-year-old grandson. Read Di's heartwarming story here.

EuroMillions also produced some big wins in May with a total of 8 UK players becoming millionaires thanks to the EuroMillions Millionaire Maker raffle.

There was plenty of Set For Life action too, with 2 players winning the amazing top prize of £10,000 a month for 30 years.

We met Cheryl Crowley, a 45-year-old primary school teacher from the London suburb of Brent, who scooped a fantastic prize of £10KThousand a month for 1 year in the Set For Life draw on 6th May. The winning ticket was given to her inside a birthday card by her 27-year-old daughter Jade. Read all about Cheryl’s big birthday win here.
